Abstract: The invention relates to a jewelry item including several spherical or near-spherical elements (hereinafter spherical elements) in which each spherical element (1) includes at least one bore (2) and is connected to at least one adjacent spherical element (1). The assembly of two adjacent spherical elements (1) is carried out using a rod (3) inserted on either side into the corresponding bore (2) of each spherical element (1). A plurality of spherical elements (1) each include at least two bores (2), wherein the axis of each bore (2) extends radially relative to the centre of the spherical element (1). The spatial positioning of adjacent spherical elements (1) on either side of a common spherical element (1) is achieved by the angular orientation in space of the bores (2) relative to each other. The assembly of each adjacent spherical element (1) to the common spherical element (1) is achieved by inserting or screwing each rod (3) on either side into the corresponding bores (2).
